DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

With the emergence of smart phones in recent years, the demand for miniature camera lens is increasing day by day, but the photosensitive devices of general camera lens are no other than Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or Complementary metal-Oxide Semiconductor Sensor (CMOS sensor), and as the progress of the semiconductor manufacturing technology makes the pixel size of the photosensitive devices shrink, coupled with the current development trend of electronic products being that their functions should be better and their shape should be thin and small, miniature camera lens with good imaging quality therefor has become a mainstream in the market. In order to obtain better imaging quality, the lens that is traditionally equipped in mobile phone cameras adopts a three-piece or four-piece lens structure. And, with the development of technology and the increase of the diverse demands of users, and under this circumstances that the pixel area of photosensitive devices is shrinking steadily and the requirement of the system for the imaging quality is improving constantly, the five-piece, six-piece and seven-piece lens structure gradually appear in lens design. There is an urgent need for ultra-thin wide-angle camera lenses which have good optical characteristics and the chromatic aberration of which is fully corrected.

The following condition should satisfied: 0.35<f1/f<0.65, −1.5<f2/f<−0.4, 0.4<f3/f<0.7, −0.36<f4/f<−0.3, 10<f5/f<20, f/R1<4.0.

When the focal length of the camera optical lens 10 of the present invention, the focal length of each lens, and the curvature radius of the camera optical lens satisfy the above conditions, the refractive power configuration of each lens can be controlled/adjusted which can ensure the imaging quality and reducing the length of the system. Therefore, the camera optical lens 10 has the advantage of high performance, more suitable for high-pixel of the portable camera.

In this embodiment, the focal length of the first lens L1 is defined as f1, the focal length of the second lens L2 is defined as f2, the focal length of the third lens L3 is defined as f3, the focal length of the fourth lens L4 is defined as f4, and the focal length of the fifth lens L5 is defined as f5. Here the following condition should satisfied: 1.5<f1<3, −6<f2<−4, 5<f3<7.5, −5<f4<−2.5, 50<f5<200. The unit of distance, radius and center thickness is mm With such design, the total optical length TTL of the whole camera optical lens 10 can be made as short as possible, thus the miniaturization characteristics can be maintained.

Configurations of refractive index and abbe number of the lenses mentioned above can be combined and applied for designing the camera optical lens 10. Therefore, the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 made from optical materials with high refractive index and low abbe number can effectively reduce color difference of the system and greatly improve the imaging quality of the camera optical lens 10.

Besides, surfaces of the lens are configured to be aspherical for approaching more controllable variables to correct abberations, reduce the amount of the lenses, and further to reduce the total length of the camera lens.
